When we were looking for a house somewhere near our son's family in rural Grimes, we had a realtor who drove us around to houses we wanted to look at. We were pretty much lost and not paying attention to how she got us where we wanted to go. So when we decided to buy this house in Ankeny, we had no idea how to get back to it and it wasn't on GPS yet because it was a new build!
We eventually found it, of course.
One of my favorite parables that Jesus shared is the parable of the lost sheep.
"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep ad loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent," (Luke 15:4-7 NIV).
I love to picture this rejoicing in heaven, every time someone accepts Jesus Christ as his/her personal Savior. If you haven't chosen Jesus yet, I'd love to talk to you about it. Jesus is a wonderful Savior!
